DINERS will be able to eat outside a new Pizza Express restaurant in Kendal's Wainwright's Yard after permission was granted on appeal by a government-appointed planning inspector.
Maple Grove Developments Ltd had appealed against South Lakeland District Council's refusal to allow the use of an adjoining seating area outside the building.
However, planning inspector John Deakin said the external seating area would have to close at 6pm to reduce disturbance to residents who lived above the planned restaurant site.
